Grand Rounds

The latest Grand Rounds is up, and my the Gawande kerfuffle piece is included, along with one of Jim Hu's responses.

I find it interesting (dismaying?) that so many folks read the article with such an uncritical eye. I had no idea that Gawande was "a hero" to many. I can see that he would be viewed as a radical reformer in a profession somewhat desperately in need of reform... but there are ways to go about it, and ways not to. There's a difference between working towards change and being a spoiler.
